What a holiday table this setting could make!!! This elegant gold embossed plate definitely shows the fine workmanship of the Pickard Studio. This wonderful piece has been painted with a diamond pattern, gold embossed / encrusted rim. A small gold band circles the well of the plate. The background is a soft creamy white, which really makes the gold rim pop. "All patterns are decorated with 24K gold (never anything less).......with a style that caters to a niche of clientele looking for elegant, timeless upscale dinnerware." The pattern and can be seen in the "Collector's Encyclopedia of Pickard China by Alan B. Reed". There are no chips, hairlines or cracks; manufacturing anomalies do exist, the occasional tiny iron speck, dust 'bump' in the glaze, etc .

The Jefferson Pattern was the first official Texas State china used in the Governors' Mansion during the Shivers Administration. First Lady Marealice loved fine things and entertaining and she persuaded the state legislature that the grand state of Texas needed official china. Their settings also include the state seal. Pickard China was established in Edgerton, Wisconsin in 1893 by Wilder Austin Pickard, and moved to Chicago in 1897. For some forty years the Pickard China Studio, as the firm was then known, was a decorating company specializing in hand painted art pieces, dessert and tea sets.

Today Pickard china ranks among the finest in the world, highly noted for its graceful shapes and beautiful decorations. It has the feel of lightness and delicacy, while maintaining unusual strength. Its glaze is of remarkable brilliance and hardness. All Pickard pieces are Made in America ---hand-crafted by skilled American artisans.

Pickard dinnerware is the official dinnerware for all U.S. embassies and consulates throughout the world. Pickard is honored to have created the custom china used aboard Air Force One by Presidents George W. Bush and William J. Clinton.
